Moving On

My last piece using vintage jewelry.  On to the lessons learned at KC's Mindset.

free form bezel

Have you checked out the new resin dvd at http://www.objectsandelements.com/.  Although I've used resin in my work for a few years the free form bezels offer more freedom.   I need to finish the back of both pieces, but all in all pleased with the possibilities.

three words

This year instead of making resolutions, which honestly I never keep, I thought I would choose three words to keep me focused and have with me everyday.

What three words would you choose?

instant gratification

After spending so much time on the necklace I thought something fun was in order.  NEW Earrings for me.  The tiny lockets open, they are so cute.

  And now . . .  back to the studio there is sawing and filing to be done.

the never ending project

When I started this blog I thought I would post once a week.  We see how well that has worked.

My excuse . . .  I had an idea for a necklace based on  a Victorian Chatelaine.  After many visions and revisions this is the results.  The little journal is made of resin clay,  a material I learned about on Kerin Gale's blog.  After all the trial and errors (and dust all over the house) I think it looks like a well loved  journal.  The necklace pictured is one I've listed on etsy.  My personal necklace has a ruler and pencil sharpner instead of the nib.

reader challenge

My first challenge as seen on the http://www.objectsandelements.com/ website. Please leave a comment, I would enjoy some communication with like minded souls.
